place called Liberty City. I grew up until I was about
sixteen or seventeen years of age in what we called the
Great Triangle--Kilgore-Gladewater-Longview. Right along
the center of that was a little place--Liberty City.
That's where I grew up. I went to school there until I
was in high school.
Then I transferred along when I was about seventeen--
my last years in high school--to Jacksonville Academy in
Jacksonville, Texas. I took my last year of high school
work and two years of college work in what we called
Jacksonville College. From there I transferred to Baylor
University where I graduated in 1933 with my B.A. degree.
From Baylor I transferred to Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary in the fall of '33. In the spring
of '36 I received my master of theology--what we called
the Th.M. degree.
Then I was invited by Dr. Conner, head of the
theology department, to come back and do graduate work
toward my doctorate. This I did, and for two years I
took my residence work in Southwestern Baptist Seminary
for my doctorate, wrote my thesis, took my oral examina-
tion the third year, and graduated from Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary in May of 1939 with my
Doctor of Theology degree, which we called a Th.D. back
in those days.
